That sucks, I was gonna go there on my next NYC trip! Lula's damn well better not go ANWHERE or I will seriously cry.

Combination of rent and Sandy put the nail in. They were planning to move for cheaper rent but ran out of time. There is good reason to worry about other downtown Manhattan businesses that lost so much revenue and inventory, but I haven't heard anything specific about Lula's.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOThat better not happen. If they announce they're closing, looks like I have to go back to NYC for one last hurraw.

Does/did Derrick Hackett ever work there? I've seen regular faces working there, but maybe they were just employees. I hope they work out an agreement that doesn't involve the nuclear option. It would be really shitty to go from zero to two and back to zero vegan ice cream shops around here.

Derrick worked the counter early on, but he wasn't much of a people person, so his role became mostly making the ice cream. Brad's insight on this is interesting, but I'd like to smack the person who only thinks "she" shouldn't air her dirty laundry.
